Images not appearing - getting that tiny blue box with question mark ? ...
I've searched this issue on the boards but haven't found an answer.
I have an Intel Duo Core 2 iMac running 10.5.8 and Safari 4.0.5. I often find that when I open web pages, graphics and images are missing and in their place is a small blue box with a question mark in it. I often see this in craigslist postings.
In other threads, I've read people theorize about all different kinds of possible causes for this (from DNS problems to poor code), but haven't found an answer that will fix the problem.
Today I opened an email from Apple asking me to rate a recent workshop. I opened the email in my Yahoo mail in Safari. In the email, there was a small blue box with the question mark instead of an image.
_Here's what's interesting and different than what I've read in other posts:_
When I open the same email or webpage in Firefox, the pictures and graphics always appear. And, much more interestingly, once I open the pages in Firefox, if I go back and open them again in Safari, the images and graphics appear in Safari. This is always true.
What is causing this? It's really frigging annoying, and I see posts about it stretching years back. There must be some way to fix this!
Thanks for any info/advice.
